Axel Witsel - AM/CM - Zenit (25 Viewers)

[PhRoZeN]

Yep, translated words from FI

"Witsel was an opportunity that emerged and with the collaboration of Zenit we submitted the player to a medical. In the end Zenit were unable to sign a replacement, so we consider this to be merely a delayed move.

“Over the last few weeks Witsel has repeatedly stated he wants to come here and play for Juventus.”

I'm more than ok with him as a low cost January transfer/free next summer. Just hope the management don't see him as a starter quality.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

It's as good as done. We'll probably sign him Llorente style. Agree to the deal in January and bring him in June.

 

[Roman]

Unless we'll have injuries and will need more mids in the winter than we might bring him in for peanuts in January.

 

[s4tch]

as a depth option, he'll be perfect.

i guess that depends on performances. look at pepe. was perfectly fine as a starter untill his injury

 

[Kopanja]

Very likely Beppe is gonna bring him at winter. AFCON is scheduled from 14 Jan to 5 Feb, with Gabon as a host (Lemina is out) and Ghana is one of the main favourites(Asa) it doesn't look good for our midfield.

you're right, but that team wasn't supposed to fight for cl glory.

witsel wouldn't start for juve 2 years ago. that's our best midfield in a decade, that should be the benchmark we're sticking to. pjanic is quality, so are marchisio and khedira, but witsel is not at the same level.

 

[zizinho]

He will get 4M wages though, just saying

 

[icemaη]

No fucking way

 

[petersmit]

4M wages.. Fuck! Then I'd say, 2 year contract with option for a 3rd.. Not more

 

[KB824]

He will get 4M wages though, just saying

And that is the cost of doing business for free transfers.

 

[j0ker]

4M wages.. Fuck! Then I'd say, 2 year contract with option for a 3rd.. Not more

He was going to earn 3 or 3.5mln anyway.

Plus now we don't have to pay 20mln+ to get him, I don't see the problem.

 

[zizinho]

And that is the cost of doing business for free transfers.

thats 0.5M less than Pjanic and more money than 90% of our other players get. also, thats what we were offering to him this summer according to reports, so it has nothing to do with him being free. anyway, what i was trying to say is, people are bitching about Hernanes and his 3M wages constantly, imagine what will happen with this guy, especially if he doesent perform on a starter caliber level

 

[Hust]

So we get him for peanuts in Winter or free next Summer.


Beppe trolling....

 

[Juvellino]

Matuidi and Witsel next summer

 

[Cerval]

And that is the cost of doing business for free transfers.

It was rumored he'd get 4 millions in wages had we signed him in the end of the transfer window anyway
